Crass materialism, nepotism and ethnic bigotry represent the highest level of misfortune a people will have to deal with. Under a situation of mass killings, state conspiracy of silence or connivance is the extreme of evil against a people and causes the voyage of a country to be bound in shallows and miseries.
Countries where men and women of wisdom are in the saddle achieve greatness by the fortunes of "good-wisdom". It is not good-wisdom to mortgage the future of a country and inflict upon it death, desperate and impoverish citizenry. That is the case in Buhari’s Nigeria where corruption stands tall and strong.
The beginning of good-wisdom in our own circumstance is to deviate from the character of leadership that encourages societal ills. Leadership ought to be the ultimate teacher, but in the absence of it, a society must discover itself and reform leadership or it will be consumed by the ineptitude of time.
The dark shadows and blood letting we see today are a reminder that a new generation of leaders is urgently needed to find our glory. It has become important to take to heart the admonition of Frantz Fanon that every generation must mind its mission and it has the option of either fulfilling it or betraying it.
